Whenever you replace a printhead, check the empty slots to see if they need
cleaning. In some extreme cases it is possible that the printer will not
recognize a printhead when it has been installed. This is due to the build-up
of ink deposits on the electrical connections between the printhead and the
printhead carriage.
Use the carriage interconnect wiper included with your printer to clean the
electrical interconnects of both the printhead carriage and the printhead, as
shown in the animation below.
After waiting a few moments to allow both connectors to dry, replace the
printhead into the carriage assembly.
For the frequency with which this procedure should be performed, see the
user maintenance kit.
Caution: do not touch, wipe, or attempt to clean the printhead nozzles. This
can damage the printhead and reduce print quality.
